There is no option to take out at Cunard to run the Surprise section. Other class II and III options are still accessible further upstream and the Dries ...

Count me in for Saturday and Sunday!

I’ll plan to join for both the upper and lower.

I’ll be there. See you guys at 11am on Saturday!

I’ll be there and will bring a side or dessert. Possibly both if I can’t decide on one!

Thanks to everyone who came out for New River Rendezvous! It was so fun to see so many people from all over. I did want to get the message out that a few people have tested positive for Covid after this weekend. Might not be a bad idea to take a test. Covid is unfortunately on the up and up. Hope ev...

The annual New River Rendezvous over Labor Day weekend is coming up! Members of several paddling clubs converge at Ray’s Campground in Hico, WV to enjoy novice through advanced trips on the New River or other nearby rivers depending on water levels. Trips are organized during our morning gatherings....

I plan to be there Sat. and Sun.

The Dries would be cool to hit. I’ve done it once at a lower level (1200cfs, I think) and it was manageable to boat scout. Super beautiful and super easy shuttle!

This past Saturday Raymond coordinated a fantastic trip on the Balcony Falls section of the James. Participants Ken, Bill S., Bill H., Bill C., John, Pete, and myself all enjoyed the lovely level - the Buchanan gauge read 1570cfs (3.46ft) with an added 344cfs from the Maury. We learned, courtesy of ...

Planning to join, too. See you there!

Slip Fest 2025! I had been planning to attend this event before I knew the Coastals Gathering was this weekend and also before I was invited to attend a work conference. I’ve chosen to attend the work conference so I won’t be able to make this trip. However, if anyone out there is interested you can...

Looks like we got a little bump with the rain. Hooray! See y’all tomorrow.

With nothing currently running in Nelson or Albemarle counties and not much rain in the forecast, this trip is moving to Balcony Falls. Let’s meet at 11:30am at the Glasgow put-in and then run shuttle. Highs in the 60s and sunny for Saturday. Please let me know if you’ll be there, either on here, vi...

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

And yes, Bill’s beta is correct. We are meeting at the pavilion at the given times to coordinate trips. And due to the large variety of trips no official potluck is planned for Saturday.

The annual New River Rendezvous over Labor Day weekend is coming up! Friday (August 30) and Saturday (August 31) we will meet at Ray's Campground at ten a.m at the picnic tables behind the office. We'll meet at nine a.m. on Sunday (Sept 1) and Monday (Sept 2). If you are driving there on Friday or S...
